Do interviews also take over your personal life?

I’ve been job hunting lately and honestly it’s been exhausting.

One thing I struggle with is how much interviews take over my time mentally. If I have an interview coming up next week, I’ll avoid making personal plans or even cancel things because I feel like I need to prepare, even when I probably don’t. On the day of the interview, I can’t even do something simple like go to the gym in the morning because I’m too anxious to focus on anything until it’s over.

Can anyone else relate? How do you deal with this?
